I couldn't figure out what was going on until I remembered that taking GC is the only change I've recently made. I began looking on line for facial flushing as a side effect of GC and see that it is a "temporary" problem. Seems to be ongoing with me. Since I can't tell any benefit at all, I'm discontinuing this stuff. I've also noticed that each tablet contains 100 mg of sodium, and the recommended dosage is 2 tabs per day. Why on earth would sodium be needed in GC? As someone who has hypertension and limits sodium intake, that's 200 mg I can do without!
